Looking at that test result, it seems the test doesn’t detect lower than 30, so it could be less?
Either way, looking good – Alt 19 ?
Why dud she ask if you drank alcohol?
It’s all looking good to me
This has always been my instinct Dr F – and now you have given those little hardcore cells a name, ‘The Mutants’
Wanting those mutants gone. I currently have flu, hope it doesn’t make it harder to kill those evil mutants off.
I’m taking my new blue book btw
Great – Remember to get a print-out if your test results and jot down anything they say
Everything goes in the Big Blue Book
Good luck
The sides that I experienced were headaches, painful neck maybe slight temp.
Yes, got all that, maybe I have a nasty cold, plus some sx – That would explain the ‘up and down’ thing.
Spoke to the lovely Dr Debasis at MonkMed this morning, he’s very nice, I wish we had him in the UK!
I asked him if he had any advise for ‘helping myself’ and he said ‘ try to do things that make you happy’
It’s a pity I have to work later, or I’d follow his advise Iie in bed with a good movie / book and some pancakes Really, these meds have me craving carbs with nasty white flour which I never usually go near!Went out to hospital for an Ultrasound this morning, there was a consultant and a (I think, ) junior Dr, the junior Dr was very keen to prove herself, during the test she said to the consultant ‘are those varices’
hmy: Then she asked me if I had had any operations (no) .(suggesting scarring maybe?)So I waited until the end and asked if everything looked ok, the consultant said ‘yes, everything is fine’ and I said ‘No varices then’?
They both looked uncomfortable, but the consultant said ‘It’s hard to see clearly on ultrasound, but all looks like it’s working fine and therefore doesn’t suggest any varices to me and there’s no cirrhosis’.Maybe a lesson for the juinior Dr – With HepC patients who have had so little medical support, we do read and share alot and whereas we are not medics, I believe we know much more than patients (out of need if nothing else) with other conditions, so please be careful what you say in front of us? A casual comment can cause alarm. Anyway, fingers crossed, they were being truthful and all is well.
Hi guys, Woke up this morning and feel like crap
Headache, mild fever, the worst is the eye ache, sinus, sore throat, painful neck, sore throat & chesty cough & shivery. This here thing is not going away . I guess I must have picked something up. It’s like a flu. Strange that it’s taken so long to get to flu level, been building up for nearly a week. Got to drag myself out of bed to hospital for an USound in the cold, don’t feel like moving! Seeing GP tomorrow who wants to decide if it’s a virus or an infection.Just wondering, when side effects are mentioned as ‘ mild flu-like symptoms’ if this could be sides, would that include cough?
or have I just got the flu. Hard to know, but after feeling so good for the first 4 weeks, I’m pretty fed up!Hope my lovely fix hepc friends are doing better
Hi all, This whole thread is uneasy reading and to my way of thinking, much of it is speculation.
I am not on Twinvir or Chinese meds, but from what I can see, there have been some pretty good responses to treatment on this medicine.I cannot really see how this discussion can progress in a way that is positive to anyone until some new evidence either way presents itself?
It is a sensitive time for many on treatment or just ending and I can feel the collective stress levels rise – Mine included !
(edit) It’s a shame there isn’t more data (as they say) yet to put everyones minds at rest, but until there is, maybe we could have a collective slow breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth !
I hope you and all of you stay UND forever too isaing
Thanks Dan
Talking of vertigo (if that’s what it is) – There’s supposed to be this movement some Drs can do , head left turn over head right that can get rid of it – I was reading about it today, must look it up and post the link, you never know hey? They say it’s an inbalance in the ear, which is interesting, because we get Tinnitus too – Probably not related at all, but will see if I can find it.
